The Skin Types of Ayurveda

Understanding your skin type is the first step to making right decisions for both you and your skin.

Skin types is a very interesting topic for me as a professional. I also understand that there is a lot of confusion related to it. Many clients come to me and share during their first visit, that their skin was analyzed by various individuals and each gave them different feedback. This is obviously confusing and frustrating for them!

Here is the link to the SKIN TYPES OF AYURVEDA , an article which I have written for my very favourite school of aromatherapy The School for Aromatic Studies

My intention behind this article is to share my outlook and understanding of skin and skin type classifications. I hope that it will add more clarity and lift some of your confusion.

I hope that you’ll enjoy reading it. Let us know if you have any questions in the comments or by contacting us at hello@womandivine.ca

For the love of essential oils - Sweet Orange

The scent of orange has uplifting qualities; sweet, fresh, cheerful light and fruity.

Perfect for the 'end of winter blues'.

Think... refreshing aroma of an orange peel.

The essential oil of Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) is perfect to improve your mood.

Spray some in your room - mix 15 drops of orange essential oil and distilled water (fill up) in a small 50ml - 100ml spritz bottle.

If used in massage, Sweet Orange essential oil will not only uplift but it will also stimulate lymphatic flow and move fluids (good for cellulite), calm your nervous system, help relax the muscles and stimulate the digestive system.

In skin care I use it sometimes in my bespoke blends for oily skin but be cautious, it can be irritating to the delicate skin of your face.

*Do not apply before sun exposure... it can make your skin photosensitive.

Definitely a great oil to have for the grey, slow days... :-)
